The news spread like the wind throughout Jarrosus City.
Everyone, including Castellan Isaac, was stunned. They were shocked by the brutality of the Guild of Magic. In their view, the current Guild of Magic was completely an unreasonable bandit. The reason why the many forces in Jarrosus could maintain their calm on the surface was that everything was carried out in secret.
The struggle between the major forces had always existed, but no one had ever dared to put it on the table.
Often, the two forces fought to the death in secret, but when the leaders of the two sides met, they would still talk about romance harmoniously. Just like at the auction back then, who among the forces present did not have any grudges with each other? But under the temptation of the 33 bottles of Arcane Magic Potion, they were still auctioned in the guild hall, and no blood was shed on the spot.
Everyone knew that the Guild of Magic was now the only one in Jarrosus.
But no one had thought that they would be so arrogant and unreasonable. They completely disregarded the rules of the game and directly put the secret struggle on the table. In just one afternoon, the Guild of Magic swept away more than 20 businesses of the Merlin Family, including several casinos jointly operated with the Blood Brotherhood and two merchant ships anchored on the canal.
In just one afternoon, the Merlin Family had lost countless gold coins.
For a moment, many forces were indignant, especially the Blood Brotherhood that had several casinos smashed. Aaron Matsis almost had a heart attack. "F * ck you, Gerian, you're courting death. If you continue like this, everyone will die together!"
But in the face of Gerian's wrath, who dared to go to the Emerald Tower to reason with him?
The leaders of more than a dozen forces were not idiots. As soon as the incident at the Demon Fall Valley came out, the Guild of Magic immediately retaliated against the Merlin Family. The relationship between the two could be seen at a glance. Everyone knew that Gerian was taking revenge. At such a sensitive time, who dared to be insensible and send themselves to him?
The chaos lasted until evening before it gradually subsided.
At this time, the Merlin Family was in a mess. When the news came in the afternoon, Old Merlin, who was so angry that he fainted on the spot. When he woke up, his face was still livid, and he asked the servant to find his younger brother, Evan.
"Look what you've done!" After waking up, Old Merlin seemed to have aged a few decades. The always energetic Matthew now looked so old and weak.
"Big Brother … Listen to me …"
"Explain?" Old Merlin's face was livid as he stared at Evan with murky eyes. "How many times have I told you? You must do everything cleanly and not leave any traces behind. Look at what you've done! Of the three traitors of the Guild of Magic, two were poached by other forces, and the last one was even more powerful and was actually found by the Guild of Magic. I couldn't understand it at all. What were you trying to do? Why didn't you kill him? Do you think that the current Merlin Family can still act as unbridled as before? "
Evan opened his mouth and tried to defend himself. "I just wanted to try and see if I could convince them to work for the family. After all, they are all Magic Shooters … It would be a pity to kill them like this. I was also thinking about the family …"
"For the sake of the family? Hahaha … "Old Merlin laughed in exasperation. His eyes were slightly bloodshot." Are you happy now? In just one afternoon, the Merlin Family has already suffered a great loss. Do you know how much money we've lost this afternoon? Including the two ships of goods on the canal, it's a total of 3.7 million gold coins! Evan … That's 3.7 million gold coins … Does the family earn so much in a year? Furthermore, those two merchant ships were loaded with goods that were smuggled for His Excellency the Duke. It wasn't easy for Fario to get us this connection, but after this incident, do you think His Excellency the Duke will still trust us? "
Evan was completely dumbfounded when he heard this huge figure.
"Forget it …" Old Merlin sighed heavily, looking a little disappointed. "Let's not talk about this first. To be honest, I'm also a little responsible. I knew that you've been indecisive since you were young, but I still insisted on letting you handle this matter … How's Cromwell recently?"
"Cromwell has made rapid progress. He broke through to level-twelve yesterday."
"Not bad …" Hearing this news, Old Merlin's face finally showed a trace of relief, but then his expression turned gloomy. "This child has become more sensible recently. It's a pity that as a descendant of the Merlin Family, sometimes we have to make some sacrifices …"
"Big Brother …" Evan hesitated, looking as if he wanted to say something. "Cromwell is the only heir of the Merlin Family … Even if he can kill that pharmacist from the Guild of Magic in this duel, his life will be completely ruined. Isn't it too cruel to treat Cromwell like this, a Magic Shooter who can never improve?"
"This is a necessary sacrifice …" Old Merlin's expression was a little gloomy, but the gaze in his eyes was unusually firm. "Everything that the Guild of Magic has today is actually brought by that mage called Felic. Do you still remember the battle between me and Gerian? At that time, if he hadn't taken out a bottle of Awakening Potion, Gerian would have been dead. At that time, I knew that as long as this young man was around, the Guild of Magic would unify Jarrosus City sooner or later. The auction of the Arcane Magic Potion confirmed my guess. Both families expressed goodwill to the Guild of Magic at the same time. Do you think they wanted to curry favor with Gerian? Wrong … They wanted to curry favor with that young potion master! "
"But I heard that Felic is just a low-level mage. Cromwell doesn't have to …"
"Low-level mage?" Old Merlin smiled bitterly. "Didn't Cromwell tell you that the other party used only one spell to blast him out of the Emerald Tower? This is a real magic genius. He has super strong mental strength and mana. Even I have to use the power of an Archmage to defeat him. Such a magic genius, it's too scary if he's allowed to grow … He must die in this duel! "
After Old Merlin finished, he closed his eyes tiredly and no longer looked at the horrified Evan.
